Summary:

        Frank Asbeck, CEO of SolarWorld, a German solar energy corporation, is beginning to expand onto the American business scene. He has invested over 500 million dollars in Portland, Oregon, and he predicts that America will pass Spain and Japan to become the world’s second-largest solar market, behind Germany. Asbeck got his degree in agricultural engineering and decided not to be a scientist when he learned that only one quarter of academic knowledge is used in the real world. In 1998, he started the solar engineering company known as Solar World, which now has about 3300 employees and factories around the world. His assets have been pegged at 694 million dollars.

Reaction:

I completely agree with this engineer. He has to expend as much as he can. Changing the world into a solar world will protect the life on the earth. Using a lot of oil for transportation, equipments, and factories will destroy the life by the time. In addition, it will be a proud for him and the workers by expending onto all over world. They will be one of the biggest companies in the world. Also, it's a proud for the company by trying to survive the world.
